“Do you want to ruin the prayer ritual? Where’d you pick up that blasphemous nonsense? What did you just say? Demon! You said demon!” “I’m sorry, Silver! Truth is, atheism’s all the rage among kids our age in Atania… You have to act like you’re spitting on God to be seen as cool… These days, even kids cry and fuss about not wanting to go to the temple with their parents…" “I was just spouting nonsense like always. Hey, I said it in our Atania language, so maybe His Divinity the…- 124.7 K • Ongoing
- It took Wolf two days of climbing the cave walls to reach the hole. Red Eagle couldn't contain his amazement. “It's not difficult, Your Highness. You just have to avoid thinking things like, ‘If I fall from here, my skull will shatter like a watermelon.’” “It's hard even without thinking that. My whole body was already aching after less than five steps.” “That's because you only do breathing exercises, Your Highness.” Wolf dusted his palms and examined the hourglass. Its…

- The old woman's speech became faster. "Hmph, whether it's Stoll or Atania, men give up faster than women. And they always choose methods with zero survival chance. I'd wager nine out of ten male mutants killed themselves the moment they realized their true nature. That's why no bodies identified as ‘male mutants’ remain. I want to cut open a male mutant’s belly more than anyone else!" The old woman slammed her fist on the table and gestured toward the chair across from her. “Sit down.…

- Wolf looked up at the cave opening. Light scattered chaotically. It resembled white feathers spilling from a pillow with torn corners. “That fight that day was nothing but luck. I've never fought anyone in my life. I never trained in combat, and I barely put in the time for the combat training I started this year.” “That's too humble, Wolf. I've seen top knights sparring at court often enough to tell the real from the fake. Besides, you said you exercised daily?” “That's because I'm a…

- Wolf rubbed his knee with his fingertips while tracing back his memories. The sight of Black Weasel carelessly guzzling alcohol, heedless of the pursuers. If there had been no pursues to begin with, it all made sense. Wolf discreetly glanced at Red Eagle. He probably had reached a similar conclusion, because he looked restless. “Listen, Silver. I need to talk to you.” Wolf tossed a card. “What is it? Go ahead.” Silver replied carelessly without even looking this way. Wolf cleared his…

- Wolf, who had been listening silently, drew on the dirt floor. A burly, muscular blond man. In one hand, an axe dripping blood. Over one shoulder, he carried a woman flailing her legs. “It's said that even 152 years ago, when the <Ill Omens> first invaded the Atania Continent, they had no written language. Their weapons and standards of living lagged centuries behind Atania at the time...” Wolf drew a woman too. An axe dripping blood in one hand. A man flailing his legs over one shoulder.…

- This explanation was just as unconvincing, but Wolf let it slide at this point. “I understand. Adults treated me like that a lot too. It always annoyed me. But why'd that old man do that to you?” “Well...” Silver frowned and held up his index finger. “Earlier, we talked about the Spruce and Birch. Human mutants, in your terms. But Bingapsu said there's another male mutant. Do you know about it?” “Hmm?” Wolf and Red Eagle looked at each other. “I've only ever heard of…

- Black Weasel and Silver's voices grew louder. Wolf felt his chest tighten as he watched them. What are they arguing about now? Please, just speak Atanian! Black Weasel and Silver jumped to their feet while pointing fingers at each other. Even Wolf, who was deaf to Stoll's words, could tell Black Weasel and Silver were arguing. What is Silver thinking, acting like that? He’ll get whipped. But maybe he won't get beaten since he’s his assistant. Silver splashed water…

- “It was three months ago that I took the duty of escorting the prince. A month later, I arrived in Morgan. That’s precisely when I heard about the ‘Blood Unity Assembly.’ Stoll is so vast that it takes at least a month for rumors to spread across the entire region.” “So the latest information you received was actually about a month old?” Black Weasel nodded at Red Eagle's question. “Exactly. Anyway, there were still two months left before the prince arrived in Morgan. The final…

- Wolf carefully removed Red Eagle's robe. Red Eagle's complexion immediately turned pale. “Wolf? I just need to wash the blood off. I don't need you to attend to me...” “Yes, it's a simple matter as you say. So please leave it to me.” Wolf gave a small smile and began undressing Red Eagle. As a way of repaying the free luxury trip, he had volunteered to attend to Red Eagle's meals and baths during their journey to Stoll. Having seen much growing up in the palace as a child, he quickly…
